Getting Started Quickly Acura Music Link Designed specifically for Acura vehicles, Acura Music Link allows you to play music from your Apple® iPod® on your vehicle's audio system. Once connected, you can use the controls on your vehicle's audio system to play music from your iPod, and it charges your iPod battery. This Quick Reference Guide will help you get started using Acura Music Link quickly. See the User's Guide on the Acura Music Link CD-ROM to learn how to use all of Acura Music Link's features. Connecting Your iPod Switch your iPod to music mode. Find the Acura Music Link cable installed inside the glove box, and plug it into the dock connector port located on the bottom of the iPod. When the Acura Music Link cable is properly connected, a check mark appears on the iPod screen (right), and the iPod can only be operated using your vehicle's audio system controls.
MENU
NOTE: Acura Music Link can be used with any 4th-generation or later iPod (including iPod video, and iPod nano®). It does not work with the iPod shuffle®. Make sure your iPod has been updated with the latest firmware from Apple. Visit www.apple.com/ipod/download for more information. Disconnecting Your iPod To disconnect the iPod, squeeze both sides of the Acura Music Link cable connector, and unplug the cable. You can connect and disconnect your iPod while the audio system is on or off. IMPORTANT: • For your safety, do not connect or disconnect the iPod while driving. • Secure the iPod in the glove box. Do not place it on or allow it to fall onto the vehicle floor, where it can get stuck under the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal. • Do not leave the iPod in the vehicle in high temperatures or expose it to extended periods of direct sunlight; doing so may damage it. • To avoid damaging the Acura Music Link cable, do not pull strongly on the cable. Always keep the connector dry, and cap the connector when it is not in use.
Using the Audio System Controls Acura Music Link allows you to use the buttons on your audio system to control iPod functions. There are two ways* to listen to music: You can shuffle all albums or shuffle all songs. Selecting disc number 5 on your audio system corresponds to the shuffle all albums play mode, while selecting disc number 6 corresponds to the shuffle all songs play mode. NOTE: Acura factory-installed audio systems vary from model to model and have different button names for the same functions. Playing Music 1. Connect the iPod, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) or ACC (I) position, and turn on the audio system. 2. Select Acura Music Link by pressing the CD, CD/AUX, CD/AUX/XM, CD/DVD, CD/CHG, DISC, DISC/TAPE, or DISC/AUX button (depending on your Acura model). If the audio system plays a disc in the CD player/changer or the XM radio, press the button again. Acura Music Link begins playback with the last song played on the iPod. If no song is queued, Acura Music Link shuffles all songs in random order. Selecting a Play Mode • To select a play mode, use the DISC– and DISC+ buttons (Preset 5 and Preset 6, respectively) or the CH DISC ( and ) buttons to scroll thru the disc numbers until Disc 5 is shown on the audio display.
